Community Participation in Mantuan Downs
How people contribute — volunteering, unpaid care and domestic work, and defence service.
A massive gap in unpaid childcare defines Mantuan Downs, where 55% of people provide this care compared to just 26.5% across Queensland. While the area is highly active in supporting children and others, it is much less likely to have people spending long hours on housework.
Participation
Volunteering for organisations and groups.
About 15% of residents in Mantuan Downs volunteer, which is lower than most similar areas but remains about the same as the national figure.
Unpaid care & work
Caring for others and unpaid domestic work.
Half again of the population provide unpaid care, which is well above the national average of 11.9%. This is driven by a very high rate of unpaid childcare, though the area is among the lowest in the country for people spending 15 or more hours on housework.
